Lessons from a life changing accident
I have just finished reading ‘My sweetest victory’ by Alex Zanardi. I bought this autobiography because Alex once drove for Lotus (my favourite team when I used to follow F1 closely) and because recently there have been several inspiring stories about this racing driver who lost his legs in a horrific racing accident. His injuries…

Leverage Your Strengths and Manage Your Weaknesses
It seems to me that most education systems around the world encourage us to focus on our weaknesses and try to improve them and not play to our strengths. If you have your own business you are the one making the rules and so can use a different approach. You can set up your business…

Map Your Way to Success
I probably first came across the idea of representing facts in the form of a diagram when I was at school studying for my A levels.

Abandon the Keyboard and Get Out There!
Last weekend I was in Manchester, England to attend the Marketing Summit UK. For two days we were treated to presentations on how to build businesses in solo ads, software creation and niche marketing.

Beware the Pet Projects that Bite!
Internet marketing is as susceptible to trends and fads as any other niche. A couple of years ago it seemed almost every sales page featured a graphic that included a military gas mask.
